EVRPD Seeking Instructors for Wide Variety of Programming

Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD), the provider of numerous recreational opportunities in Estes Valley, is excited to increase availability for additional programming at the new Estes Valley Community Center (EVCC). With the popularity of the facility and the wide array of knowledge, experience and interests in Estes Park and the Front Range, EVRPD hopes to build a comprehensive schedule of classes and programs for all ages for the fall, winter and spring seasons.

EVRPD will utilize independent contract instructors to provide recreational services designed for preschoolers, school-age children, teens, adults, seniors, and families. Applicants should have strong teaching skills, a positive and upbeat demeanor, have excellent communication skills, strong organizational skills, and demonstrate a desire to develop and promote their program.

The Estes Valley Community Center offers a well-organized, modern facility with a classroom and multipurpose room—both equipped with modern AV equipment—as well as a multi-court gymnasium, two pools and two fitness rooms. A van is also available for field-based programs.

“We want you to come teach with us,” said Teresa Jackson, Manager of Community Center Operations for EVRPD. “If you have extensive knowledge or skill in a particular subject matter on any topic or activity, we welcome you to submit a proposal.”

Interested individuals wishing to instruct a class must complete and submit a program proposal to be considered. Program proposals will be accepted through August 31, 2018. Please visit evrpd.com/instructor or call 970-586-8191 for information about how to apply.

“We were ecstatic to learn about the award,” said Tom Carosello, Executive Director for Estes Valley Recreation and Park District. “We put a lot of effort into completing and opening the facility, so it felt great to receive the recognition from our peers.”

The award selection committee judges the entries based on the compelling community need the project addressed, how the facility met that need, the value the facility created for the community, creative and innovative elements within the facility, and more.

EVRPD also received a bronze Horizon Interactive Award (HIA) in the government category for evrpd.com in April of this year.

The HIA is among the most prestigious international awards in the field of interactive and creative media. This award recognizes those agencies and organizations that create the best websites, website design, interactive, videos, online advertising, print media and mobile applications.

Colorado Interactive is the team behind Colorado.gov, the official website of the state of Colorado and the platform used by EVRPD to host their redesigned website.

“Our mission is ‘enrich lives with quality recreation’ and our citizens expect no less from their online experience,” said EVRPD Marketing and Communications Manager, Dawn Wilson. “Our website is critical to our business. If it’s inconvenient to find information on our website, then we aren’t serving our community. The redesign of the website resulted in a more responsive, user-friendly experience.”
